NIOBRARA

The Niobrara is one of the largest shales and stretches across the states of South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado. Although this shale formation is large, most of the drilling activity occurs in the state of Colorado. The Niobrara is really a combination of two basins in one, with the other being The DJ Basin.

This play produces crude oil and liquid rich gas. It is a shale/chalk/sandstone formation that is productive at depths of 5,000 feet and 8,500 feet.
